Well.. yea, they use the unix passwd file so yea, the usernames are unique
for each user, but they have the /etc/virtusertable with entries in it
like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] localuser
[EMAIL PROTECTED] localuser2
Knowing this, what would I do? I think I'd do something in ~alias, but
I'm not necessarily sure. I could setup vpopmail and in each domain dir
make the appropriate .qmail file to send to a local user.. However, I
don't want to have system accounts for each user. Perhaps vpopmail with
mysql support would be best? Just throwing ideas out... Any thoughts?
